Most of the privacy-protection schemes adopting chaotic maps are usually by symmetric cryptography for guaranteeing identity hiding. This will lead to a high calculated amount. So, the paper will wipe out the symmetric cryptography , and only use chaotic maps, a secure one-way hash function to construct a provable privacy-protection system (PPS) which can achieve two kinds of privacy-protection and switch between them optionally by users: The first is anonymous scheme which can make nobody know

The other is hiding scheme which owns also privacy-protection property, because the user's identity is not transferred during the process of the proposed protocol, and only the server and the RC know the user's identity. About practical environment, we adopt multi-server architecture which can allow the user to register at the RC once and can access all the permitted services provided by the eligible servers. Then a new PPS authenticated key agreement protocol is given based on chaotic maps. Security of the scheme is based on chaotic maps hard problems and a secure one way hash function. Compared with the related literatures recently, our proposed scheme can not only own high efficiency and unique functionality, but is also robust to various attacks and achieves perfect forward secrecy. Finally, we give the security proof and the efficiency analysis of our proposed scheme.
